Here’ a nice large gallery of the remaining Tamashii Nations booth from Bluefin’s display at Toy Fair 2019. There’s a ton of Gundam to check out, as well as a bit of Voltron (including Vehicle Voltron!) and a couple Disney items, and a couple Power Rangers items that were there as well. The Gundam items are from a wide array of lines and size classes.

It’s Friday, and time for a quick round up gallery of recent S.H. Figuarts releases. Inside we’ll take a look at SHF Kingdom Hearts Final Form Sora, Harry Potter and the unmasked White Ranger.

The star of the bunch is Sora, the colors really pop on this guy and the two swords are excellently done. He’s otherwise a repaint of the original release, but for some reason the colors really work well here. Harry Potter is the first of the SHF line for the movies, showing him in his youngest form. The figure is well done, giving a wide range of accessories, alt hands, two capes, and even his trusty Owl Hedwig! To cap things off we have the unmaksed version of the SHF White Ranger with Jason David Frank likeness. It pairs great with the Red and Green Ranger that did the same from SDCC.

All of these are out now or will be soon, hit the sponsor links below or your local shop to pick them up! Read on to check out pics courtesy of Bluefin Brands / Tamashii Nations!

Power Rangers are usually handled by our brothers in arms over at Tokunation.com – but today we wanted to take a quick look at some of the SDCC 2018 Power Rangers exclusives. Tamashii Nations and Bluefin Brands released 3 major ones – S.H. Figuarts versions of the Red Ranger and Green Ranger, but this time with alternate unmasked heads featuring face scan likenesses of the actors. They also re-released their Soul of Chogokin Megazord in a black, green and gold color scheme. All 3 are superbly done, especially the Megazord. It’s heavy die cast, high gloss paint and chrome, it feels expensive in your hand, which is good because it is a pretty penny. I was never into Power Rangers when it first aired, so I have no strong connection to the actor likenesses. They seem solid for what they are though. Even though they’ve been out with the helmets before, that’s how these guys will stay on my shelves since they are my first PR figures in the rotation :).

We’ve run all 3 through some pretty shots, however they aren’t full detailed galleries. Keep an eye on Tokunation.com for full sets of these guys soon though!

Entertainment Earth adds another to their growing list of exclusives set to drop or debut at SDCC 2018. Today’s is a Power Ranger figure from Bandai US’s Legacy line – the Power Rangers in Space Legacy Psycho Silver Ranger. The figure is retailing for $45 USD, sold first at SDCC, and will be available at Entertainment Earth after the show while supplies last. Check out the details below and read on for the full pic!

We’ve received a press release from Hasbro, detailing their latest acquisitions. Back during Toy Fair 2018, word came out that Hasbro was set to acquire the Power Rangers license, after decades of products from Bandai. This license acquisition could eventually have lead to Hasbro outright owning the Power Rangers brand by buying it from Haim Saban. Well, that came to fruition even faster, as Hasbro has completed a deal to completely purchase the Power Rangers brand, and others! Some of the other brands include 80’s icons My Pet Monster and Popples among others. Check out the full press release below:

Hasbro to Acquire Saban Brands’ Power Rangers and Other Entertainment Assets

LOS ANGELES & PAWTUCKET, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a global play and entertainment company, and Saban Properties LLC today announced that the companies have signed a definitive agreement for Hasbro to purchase Saban’s Power Rangers and several other entertainment brands, including My Pet Monster, Popples, Julius Jr., Luna Petunia, Treehouse Detectives and others, in a combination of cash and stock valued at $522 million.

“Power Rangers is an iconic brand built on a heritage of great storytelling and merchandising with tremendous upside potential when fully executed across Hasbro’s Brand Blueprint,” said Brian Goldner, Hasbro’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Shortly after entering into our licensing arrangement, it became clear that now was the time to begin investing in unlocking Power Rangers’ full potential. We see significant opportunity for Power Rangers across our entire Brand Blueprint, including toys and games, consumer products, digital gaming and entertainment, as well as geographically throughout our global retail footprint. We couldn’t be more pleased that Haim Saban will continue in a consulting role to further guide our development of this valuable property for the next generation of Power Rangers fans.”

“25 years after launching Power Rangers, I believe the future for this brand has never been greater,” said Haim Saban, founder of Saban Brands and creator of Power Rangers. “Hasbro’s leadership in innovation, storytelling and brand stewardship make it the perfect company to further develop the global reach and appeal of the Power Rangers property. I look forward to working with Brian and the team in the years to come.”

Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers quickly became a pop culture phenomenon. Today, Power Rangers is one of the longest running kids’ live-action series in television history with nearly 900 episodes produced to date. The TV series, currently in its 25th season with Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, and feature films, including 2017’s movie with Lionsgate, follows the adventures of a group of ordinary teens who morph into superheroes and save the world from evil. Saban’s Power Rangers currently airs in 150 markets around the world and is translated into numerous languages.

The first set of products from Hasbro will be available in spring 2019.

Transaction Details Hasbro has previously paid Saban Brands $22.25 million pursuant to the Power Rangers master toy license agreement, announced by the parties in February of 2018, that was scheduled to begin in 2019. Those amounts are being credited against the purchase price. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Hasbro will pay an additional $229.75 million in cash and will issue $270 million worth of Hasbro common stock for the Power Rangers brand and several other entertainment brands. The agreement includes all related intellectual property, category rights and content libraries owned by Saban Properties and its affiliates. The transaction is subject to a number of customary closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory approvals, and is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018.

The transaction, including intangible amortization expense, is not expected to have a material impact on Hasbro’s 2018 results of operations.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is serving as financial advisor to Hasbro.

About Saban’s Power RangersSaban’s Power Rangers franchise is the brainchild of Haim Saban, creator and producer of the original, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers hit series that launched in 1993. Following its introduction, “Power Rangers” quickly became the most-watched television program in the United States and remains one of the top-rated and longest running kids live-action series in television history. The series, currently in its 25thseason, follows the adventures of a group of ordinary teens who morph into superheroes and save the world from evil.

In a stunning and quick set of events, Bandai America have lost rights to produce Power Rangers toys in the United States after 25 years. In 2019, Hasbro will take over as the GLOBAL master license holder of Power Rangers and produce all main line merchandise for the brand. Japan and certain Asian markets are excluded. We assume Bandai Tamashii Nations will continue Sentai and similar product in those markets. The reveal comes courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter with comments from Brian Goldner and Haim Saban.

“We’re particularly excited to partner together to help reignite and drive this brand for the next 25 years and more,” Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner tells Heat Vision about the deal. “It’s a partnership that is very collaborative and feels very good to us to be in business with Saban and to help power Power Rangers.”

Of note in the official press release:

The first set of products from Hasbro will be available in spring 2019. Both Hasbro and Saban Brands are dedicated to continue growing this iconic brand. In recognition of this investment, during a period of time after Hasbro becomes the master toy licensee, the arrangement between the parties provides Saban Brands and Hasbro with the opportunity to initiate Hasbro’s purchase of the Power Rangers property.
